What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions result in another person’s death. Under Georgia law, surviving family members may pursue a civil lawsuit to recover damages related to their loss.
We handle wrongful death claims involving:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Drunk or distracted driving
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
- Workplace or construction site incidents
- Defective products or machinery
- Medical malpractice or nursing home neglect
- Criminal acts and assaults
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Georgia?
Georgia law allows the following individuals to bring a wrongful death claim:
- The spouse of the deceased (on behalf of themself and minor children)
- The adult children, if there is no surviving spouse
- The parents, if there are no children or spouse
- The executor of the estate, if no immediate family is available
We help families and estate representatives navigate Georgia’s legal system and take the right steps to protect their rights.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Wrongful death claims in Georgia allow recovery for both economic and noneconomic losses. Your family may be entitled to compensation for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the fatal injury
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased
- Emotional suffering and mental anguish of surviving family members

We work with financial and medical experts to calculate the full scope of your family’s losses past, present, and future.
